The still-secret EA-published title will be "sparkling," according to the maker of No More Heroes.

Early Wednesday morning, IGN sat down with famed game director Goichi Suda (Suda 51) to chat about his newest game, No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle for Wii. While much of our interview was focused on the ambitious sequel, we also asked Suda about his next major project, a top-secret EA-published effort created with Resident Evil designer Shinji Mikami. Up until today, very little has been released about the game. And, uh, that's not going to change. But we do have a few additional details.

Suda said he had hoped to show this new title at E3 2009, but that it didn't happen for one reason or another. The director said to look forward to the Tokyo Game Show for more news.

We asked for some hints about what to expect from the unnamed game and Suda was reluctant to provide genuine details, but he did say, "It's a game about light and shadows." And when we pressed him for more information, he thought long and hard and then said, "it's sparkling." Exactly how it sparkles remains to be seen.

At the conclusion of the interview, we pumped our first into the air and said, "Sparkling!" Naturally, Suda did not hesitate to do the same. Editor's note: Suda is a rockstar.
